That said, I appreciate any attack on zoning, that mindless machine of homogenization that curses our land.

Houston had no zoning when I live there in the early 90s (well, probably before then, too). Most of the residential land use was covered by covenants, which worked out fairly well, once you carved out the racial and religious restrictions. But outside the subdivisions, I grew used to seeing strip malls with a gun shop on one side of the daycare center and a strip club on the other. They would be anchored on each end by a storefront church and a liquor store.
